Evangelical Christians, at the moment, are totally enamored with a candidate who has profited off strip clubs, cheated on his wife, and appeared on the cover of the nation's pre-eminent porn magazine.
And to top it off, Jerry Falwell Jr.-the heir of the Moral Majority mantle-just endorsed him.
(snip)
So far, Trump's top foes have largely steered clear of attacking him based on his sexcapades and scandals. Even while he and Rubio lob birther-esque attacks at Ted Cruz for being born in Canada, Trump has evaded any hard-hitting criticism for his multiple marriages, casino ownership, and appearance on the cover of Playboy magazine.
A series of tweets from Sen. Ben Sasse, a freshman Republican from Nebraska, may suggest that the days of giving Trump a pass over his New York-values personal life are over.
"You brag abt many affairs w/ married women," the senator tweeted on Jan. 24, addressing Trump. "Have you repented? To harmed children & spouses? Do you think it matters?"
In The Art of the Deal, Trump boasted about bedding other men's wives.
"If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller," he wrote.

When it comes to explaining how most men act, especially powerful men, I think ill listen to a Swedish girl over a Chinaman.
That’s just me.

Yeahhhhh,,, you just keep believing that.Innocent till scandal breaks out, which is a much lower standard than proven guilty. Senators are very public figures. Affairs are hard to keep secret. Women talk. Bottom line - not everyone's as sleazy as the Donald.

Did he run away from a debate with his tail between his legs like a little girl?
If you mean the Iowa debate, no, Reagan could never be characterized that way.
However, Reagan lost Iowa after he skipped the debate and he made sure he did not miss another one after that lesson.
Reagan did it because he falsely and incorrectly believed he was too far ahead, not because he was scared he was going to get hammered for his past which was NO WHERE NEAR as awful or Liberal as TRUMPs (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) history.
TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) however, may have arrogantly thought he is too far ahead in IOWA, however, I doubt because the polls are too close.
TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) was scared that his current liberal positions on Abortion, KELO, Single-Payer Healthcare and his Liberal Past were going to be outed in a very public manner in this debate right before the Iowa Caucus so he ran away like a little girl not man enough to present a case defending these positions.
But let's face it. There is no case that will defend, from a conservative perspective, TRUMPS (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) liberal problems.
Trump knew this so he went and hid, like a coward!

Many Evangelicals only read the parts of the Bible they like, and leave the rest out.
In Genesis 9:1 God tell Noah and his sons: "Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, âBe fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth..."
Exactly how were they to be fruitful and increase in number?
One could certainly paraphrase this by saying "have lots of sex and many babies".

You little kids love to reference Trump with an Islamic phrase.
Do you have any idea how juvenile you look when you do that.
He has said he wants to block all immigration from that group, and here are acting this way.
Are you proud of this?

Itâs called a â$h1t testâ. Its the favorite sport of the female. Alphas donât play. All the Betas were there to do exactly what Meghan said they had to.
Naw, TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) was afraid of his liberal positions on Abortion, his lack of commitment to defeating Gay Marriage (10th Amendment) and his liberal past being made public to the conservative voters so close to the Iowa Caucus.
He ran like a girl away from a girl. He's a coward.

I am becoming more and more convinced that in order to be a TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) supporter you have to have a healthy dose of both Tunnel Vision and Projection.

Megyn Kelly wanted Howard Stern, Michael Moore, Rubio with his toupee and Aqua Buddha Rand Paul to whisper in her ear.
Trump and these powerful women were married for the best part of a decade.

Even if she worked at a bordello, servicing several customers a day - in the process, "knowing" thousands of customers, all she'd know is how bordello customers act. I trust the average woman doesn't go through thousands of men, and couldn't possibly know that a majority of men are sleazes let alone the majority of powerful men. Please don't project your hero's weaknesses onto other people.

Vitter lost because Bobby Jindal is a RINO just like Nikki Haley, Scott Walker and Mike Pence.

But it’s okay to back a guy that was against proposition 187.
It’s okay to back a guy that helped Bush coin Compassionate Conservative, and use children in his objections to clamping down on illegal aliens.
You need to do more homework.

But he has recently decided to claim to be a conservative on immigration, so his entire life before a few months ago (and much of his life after he announced) is irrelevant.

I am simply flabbergasted and the lack of knowledge of the Bible, the lack of Morality, and the absurd level of excuse-making by TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) supporters.
The attempt to twist everything, including the Bible so you can support someone you know is wrong is simply mind-boggling and shameful.
This must be what it is like over at the DU ALL the time.

Members of our nobility tend to do this sort of thing. Nelson Rockefeller dies a the apartment of a mistress.

You need to admit that Donald is not a conservative. You're homework has already been done for you.
